Just wondering how people here (who write free software) release it?
I wrote a Perl script that does a very basic synchronization of an SQL-based eGroupware address book to an LDAP server, and use it myself. I thought i'd release it so i put it up on my personal website under the GPL.
Sourceforge is after seriously reducing how easy it is to get a project registered.
My suggestion is GoogleCode, I use it for a College projects and it's great: simple, clean and a nice way to get into FOSS. I haven't tried the Sun one (Project Kenai) but it looks promising.
I also have a project on Sourceforge; but I haven't uploaded anything yet. A++ to Sourceforge for the hosted apps idea; makes great sense. It would be complete if they allowed a project domain to used instead of sourceforge.net and the emails from Ross Turk (SF community manager) get annoying after a while; although I do like reading about up and coming projects.
Sourceforge makes the whole process very painless, but I must try out Google Code. Launchpad is sublime for reporting bugs, I seen on Debian's Gsoc ideas page they want to adapt it for use in the Debian community too, so anyone who says Ubuntu doesn't give back to it's big brother is wrong!

I new downside to SourceForge is that recently they have been forced to implement the US restrictions on the export of encryption technology. So people in countries like Iran or Cuba can no longer access projects that may have worked with - this restriction is of course is a break of the GPL.
Other repositories do not (as yet anyway) seem to be effected by this restriction. I guess the location of the servers is a question... if the servers are not USA based then perhaps they no longer apply!? For now however SF enforces these restrictions which puts it at a disadvantage to me.
I put a small Silverlight project up on Codeplex about a year ago. Over 850 downloads so far. Should break 1000 pretty soon once I test/update it for the latest version of Silverlight. I really like seeing people use it. It gives me at least as much nerd-pride as my experts-exchange t-shirts
Hi guys,

I am working on an open source widgets project and this is the link www.navlai.com if you are interested. I just had the Open Souce T&C's added so anyone can get the open standard universal widget API (UWA) developed.
